Wash. Admin. Code § 24-20-080 - Review of denials of public records requests
(1) Any person who objects to the denial of a
request to copy or inspect public records may petition the commission for
review of such decision by submitting a written request to the commission. The
request shall specifically refer to the statement which constituted or
accompanied the denial.
(2) The
commission's president or designee shall immediately consider the matter and
either affirm or reverse such denial. In any case, the request shall be
returned with a final decision, within ten business days following receipt of
the written request for review of the original denial.
(3) Under RCW 42.56.530, if the commission
denies a requestor access to public records because it claims the record is
exempt in whole or in part from disclosure, the requestor may request the
attorney general's office to review the matter.
(4) Any person may obtain court review of a
denial of a public records request under RCW 42.56.550.
